Shopping

With only 27 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, downtown Buchanan offers a full Calendar of Events and extended business hours in a relaxed atmosphere for your enjoyment.
As familiar carols float
across the air, red velvet bows and yards upon yards of Christmas greenery
greet visitors strolling along the Town’s historic Main Street. Step back in
time when shopping was an event to look forward to and whole lot less frantic
than a trip to the mall. Downtown Buchanan offers visitors an opportunity to
shop, stroll and dine at a leisurely pace. Tiny white lights twinkle merrily as
couples walk hand in hand along the narrow sidewalks while others window shop,
or, gather indoors to relax while dining in one of the cozy restaurants lining
Main Street. Laughter fills the air throughout the Town as it has become a
tradition to many to spend at least one day of their holiday season in downtown
Buchanan.

Bring the whole family, or, just escape with a friend. Enjoy the leisurely pace found in downtown Buchanan where things move a little slower and merchants wait on you by name, not a number.
